Tim's big sister Tina goes to real school and she is learning to read. Tim is stuck in playschool, where all he learns is tumbling. He wants to read too and he tries to catch up with Tina by sitting across from her while she words on her reading. As Tina sounds out each word, Tim follows along from the opposite side of the table. Soon, they're both reading--but Tim does it upside-down. This is a great book to read to children who are just starting to read. This is a wonder addition to any school library. It is made for ages 6-9 and would be perfect for literacy lessons.
